Thanks @Aesan for making these guides, you´re making the Gods work :) And kudos for including Pezmans thread, there are lots of good tips in there for those who are still struggling with completing some of the achievements.
Ok, the people have spoken. It's the perfect solution to solve imbalanced cards and allow a little more variety into the game, but I guess not such a good idea. Have fun net-decking the same boring decks that involve cards that carry the win for you like the good little robots that you are : D
Reading your replies you guys seem to think I'm saying to make it the card won't show up at all. Not the case. They would show up less often in a series of games, thus taking down the winrate of deck abusing power cards over time.
Way to take criticism like a champ (not).
Clearly it's not the perfect solution if everyone in this thread disagrees with it, eh?
It's just such a convoluted and unfun way to try and solve a problem that literally every card game, could even say every game bar something like chess, has to deal with. I don't even know where to begin honestly.
Heartstone thrives off of its simplicity and how appealing it is for casual players. Do you really think hidden, altered draw rates based on a card's strength are going to help in that? Even more so when you consider that most decks that rely on one card strategies are often Timmy decks, which are preferred by the casual audience (big priest and Tickatus warlock for example). They'd literally be breaking down the formula that has made Hearthstone the juggernaut of digital card games that it is today.
And it's even more ridiculous when you consider that their balancing, and I never thought I'd say this, has actually gotten a lot better recently. With both the current and previous expansion we ended on a very varied and, I'd say, good meta. Blizzard have actually been doing really well in this regard, excluding evolve shaman.
Above meta talk obviously applies to standard. Wild has never received attention so it's no wonder the meta over there is as bad as it is.
New Rogue Weapon - Swinetusk Shank
This can be insane with the right poisons but as standalone it's worse than the other weapons.
New Neutral Minion - Barrens Blacksmith
Insane value with Saurfang
New Neutral Minion - Kargal Battlescar
Yeah unless we get better watch posts this or next expansions, I don't think summoning 4 5/5s at max is super viable
New Rogue Minion - Scabbs Cutterbutter
Imagine it with the 2drop minion that reduces combo cards cost!
Rogue will be fun!
New Neutral Minion - Mor'shan Watch Post
Way better than the other watch post but idk how strong it'll be
New Rogue Minion - Scabbs Cutterbutter
Good name 10/10
New Rogue Minion - Scabbs Cutterbutter
Very strong card can enable a lot of insane turns mana cheating is not a joke.
New Warrior Minion - Overlord Saurfang
I wasn't completely sold on the Frenzy mechanic but oh boy does this look viable
New Warrior Minion - Rokara
I think the 2/3 body isn't strong enough to stick around enough to make an impact
[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
Yup
New Rogue Weapon - Swinetusk Shank
This card has nitroboost written up

New Paladin Spell - Conviction (Rank 1)
Yeah 1 mana +3 ×3 is alot, but you must have 10 mana... we'll see if aggro decks will play slowly in standard then
Get That XP! Finish Your Druid, Hunter, and Mage Darkmoon Faire Achievements With These Decks
Thanks!
Almost didn't post it because looked boastful. Then I thought it might encourage others to give it a go.
I only had 6 wins before from the pack quests when it launched. If you have a low-mid number of wins also, give it a try!
12-0 achievement? Nah I'll leave that to the people that are good :)
New Warrior Minion - Rokara
Here comes the mercenary we awaited!
This couldn't be a non-warrior card, 'cause is the only way to give her horde red color lol!
Should Blizzard Adjust Draw Rates of Over-performing Cards?

New Warrior Minion - Overlord Saurfang
Decent card. Weird to see resurrection in warrior, but I do like it. However, I would like to see more frenzy cards first before I am sold.
New Rogue Weapon - Swinetusk Shank
I quite like this weapon, and I like the idea of working with Poisons for Rogue.
New Rogue Weapon - Swinetusk Shank
wow
New Rogue Minion - Scabbs Cutterbutter
Such a discount!
New Neutral Minion - Mor'shan Watch Post
It seems an ok card, but heavily opponent dependent.
New Neutral Minion - Kargal Battlescar
I will try to get this to work.
New Neutral Minion - Barrens Blacksmith
In this set aggro gains big pieces, but hard to play! No more brainless games my friend
New Neutral Minion - Crossroads Watch Post
The better watch post I think.
